Default search feature

How do I search for a specific combination of words, e.g Bank House Fishery?

I have tried using inverted commas and plus signs, which doesn't work.

The search function isn't great.
Use Google.
Go to the 'advanced search' option in Google and at the bottom, where it says 'search within a particular site or domain', enter 'www.flyforums.co.uk'
That should do the trick.

Always had problems with the search function. The Google search works great, thanks for the tip.

If you put your search in quotation marks it should search for it as a single term.

Jim, you just need to type with the following syntax in your google task bar
e.g. "Bank House Fishery" site:www.flyforums.co.uk

Forgot to add, I use Google chrome so I just type in the URL space. It works ok on IE, but may be different for other browsers.
